T：Who’d like to tell us something about the first picture and the first proverb?
S：Let me have a try．In the first picture two girl are talking and drinking happily and the clock tells us that they have been doing so for three hours．They are absorbed in the conversation．So the proverb “Friends are thieves of time．” means. when you spend time with your friends, you always feel how time flies．It means 朋友是时间的窃贼
T：Very good．Group 2．What about your description?
S： From Picture 2 and the proverb “The best mirror is an old friend”，we can know that an old friend is like a mirror, because an old friend is the one who knows almost all about you Only he or she knows you most, especially your strength and weakness. It means老朋友如同最好的镜子
